It was reported that Bollywood actor Shah Rukh Khan received threats from a Mumbai-based gangster. A source close to the actor-producer, however, denied the news, saying “it is untrue”.

Media reports said that the Mumbai police tighetened security at Khan’s Mumbai residence, Mannat, after gangster Ravi Pujari tried to get in touch with him on Monday afternoon.

“Shah Rukh has not got any such calls. We wonder why such rumours are being spread,” the source said.

Following rounds of firing that took place at Kareem Morani’s residence, security around the actor is also said to have been increased.

A police official said: “He has been given police protection for a long time now. So why is there so much talk about it now?”

Khan, who has worked with the Morani Brothers on his Temptations Reloaded tour, is currently awaiting the release of Happy New Year.
